Pictures from the Ikizu-Sizaki survey

My job during the survey was to work with small groups and ask them about a list of 200 Swahili words.  I recorded what they thought the Ikizu word or phrase was for each and compared results between villages.

Traffic!

Two of the villages to which we went had no road to them, so things got a bit bumpy, to say the least...

Rukia, one of the Ikizu translators, taught each group how to read with the seven Ikizu vowels

The first part of our work in each village comprised of a big group interview, during which we asked  people about their language use and gathered their opinions about their people group
